Wide Angle Lens – CCL123037MPF

CCL123037MPF Low distortion wide angle 3.7mm 82° M12 mount lens 1/2.3“ with HD 14MP IMX117 UAV drone

3.78mm 12.5MP M12 Wide Angle Lens

The 3.78mm 12.5MP M12 Wide Angle Lens is a compact fixed focal lens designed for imaging systems that require broad scene coverage and high-resolution image capture. Supporting a 1/2.3″ image format and 12.5MP resolution, it delivers a 95° diagonal, 82° horizontal, and 65° vertical field of view, making it suitable for wide-area imaging in compact camera systems. The F2.8 fixed aperture and M12x0.5 mount provide a practical configuration for embedded cameras, machine vision equipment, industrial monitoring systems, and other space-constrained imaging devices.

With a 0.1m minimum object distance, the lens can support close-range imaging where a relatively wide field of view is required. Its 25.3mm TTL and 8G+IRF construction provide a compact optical configuration for integration into small camera modules. Designed for wide-angle machine vision and industrial imaging applications, this lens is particularly suitable when high resolution and broad scene coverage are more important than ultra-low geometric distortion.

M12 Wide Angle Lens Application

Wide-Area Machine Vision

The combination of 3.78mm focal length, 82° horizontal FOV, and 12.5MP resolution makes this lens suitable for machine vision applications that need to capture a relatively broad inspection area. It can be used in compact inspection cameras for object detection, positioning, presence checking, and general visual inspection.

Industrial Monitoring

The wide field of view allows a single camera to cover a larger scene, which can be useful for monitoring equipment, work areas, production stations, and other industrial environments. The 12.5MP resolution provides additional image detail for visual analysis and target identification.

Compact Embedded Vision

The M12x0.5 mount, fixed iris, and 25.3mm TTL make this lens appropriate for compact embedded vision equipment. Potential devices include smart cameras, compact industrial cameras, robotic vision modules, inspection cameras, and other small-form-factor imaging systems.

For help selecting a suitable focal length and sensor combination, users can refer to the Lens Selection Guide.

Close-Range Wide-Angle Imaging

With a 0.1m MOD, this lens can be positioned relatively close to the subject while maintaining a wide viewing area. This configuration can benefit applications where the camera has limited installation space and needs to capture nearby objects or inspection areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the focal length of this M12 lens?
A: This lens has a fixed 3.78mm focal length, providing a wide field of view for compact imaging applications.

Q: What is the field of view of the 3.78mm lens?
A: On the specified 1/2.3″ image format, the lens provides a 95° diagonal, 82° horizontal, and 65° vertical FOV.

Q: What resolution does this M12 lens support?
A: The lens is specified with a 12.5MP resolution, making it suitable for high-resolution compact vision systems.

Q: Is the 3.78mm lens suitable for close-range imaging?
A: Yes. Its 0.1m minimum object distance allows it to be used for relatively close-range imaging where broad scene coverage is required.

Q: What sensor format is this lens designed for?
A: The lens is designed for a 1/2.3″ image format and is specified for 12.5MP resolution.

Q: Is this lens a low distortion lens?
A: The specified TV distortion is <2.8%. While this provides controlled image geometry for many applications, it should not be positioned as an ultra-low-distortion lens without additional optical data.

Q: What cameras can use this lens?
A: The M12x0.5 mount makes it suitable for compact machine vision cameras, embedded vision modules, industrial cameras, and other small-form-factor imaging devices.

Q: Is this lens IR corrected?
A: The specification lists 8G+IRF construction, but does not provide an optical IR-correction specification. Therefore, it should not be marketed as an IR Corrected Lens unless additional optical data confirms this capability.
